Received a new Axis Stryker yesterday and it came pretty off center, not quite rubbing on the liner, but damn close. Any tips or tricks to centering the Axis lock blades?
 
If it is brand new you may want to return it or exchange it since it sounds pretty off center.
Or you can loosen the pivot and readjust to see it that helps. If not you could take it apart to see if something is missing (washer) etc.
Some folks have posted to loosen all the screws on the body as well and re-tighten them making sure they are evenly tightened.
Good luck.
 
Here's what I do.
With the knife closed.
I would losen all the screws including the clip screws
Now snug down on the pivot. Not real tight, just hand tight.
I then gently, but firmly, apply pressure to each side of the knife in opposite directions.
Left side up/right side down or Left side down/right side up; while at the same time seeing what combination gives you the desired results.
While holding the right effect, start tightening screws. If the tightening of one particular screw ruins the effect. Tighten this problem screw last.
Once all screws are tight, adjust pivot.
